Harness Racing Australia (HRA) has approved the use of Advantage Sulky Wheels, which come in two models:
- Spoked Traditional Wheels
- Aluminium Wheels
Both of these have passed the HRA testing processes and are approved for use in racing and trial events effective from 7 September 2011.
As part of the HRA approval process the wheels have been tested for strength, durability and performance. This testing is performed by Human Impact Engineering. The wheels have also been used in trials under the supervision of stewards.

HRA takes the process of testing of new products very seriously as it impacts on the health and safety of all participants as well as the welfare of the racing horses.
HRA will continue to work with all manufacturers and distributors of gear and equipment to ensure that all new products meet the standards as set out by the industry.
